The process of making the clay statue into a bronze is very fascinating and labor intensive and we thought the membership might enjoy following the statues through the foundry process.

Once Jerry completed the clay head study he put 6 layers of rubber on them creating the mold.  The mold is then de-molded from the clay model (often destroying the clay model in the process) and wax is poured in 5 times creating a 3/8” thickness.  The mold is removed from the wax and the wax is cleaned and taken to the foundry.
